摘要
The advent of x-ray free electron lasers offers new opportunities for x-ray scattering (XRS) studies of ultrafast molecular dynamics in liquids, which have so far been limited to the 100 ps resolution of synchrotrons. In particular, anisotropic XRS induced by photoselection, using a linearly polarized pump pulse, can enhance the contrast of the signal from excited molecules against the diffuse background and allows the probing of their vibrational and rotational dynamics. Here, we present a computational approach for calculating transient scattering intensities, based on molecular dynamics simulations. This is applied to the study of the excited state dynamics of molecular iodine dissolved in n-hexane. We report that at short times the transient XRS patterns reflect the evolving vibrational and rotational dynamics of I-2, even when the disordered solvent environment is included. We then use these simulations to derive the anticipated signal-to-noise ratio for a large class of model diatomic systems in solution, indicating that an S/N >= 1 will be possible from single-shot experiments in weakly scattering solvents.
